Best blue quality dps shoulders so far, and the Sons of Hodir is a mandatory rep grind. So two thumbs up!

*oh and yes, I already crunched numbers of leather/mail shoulders; these still pwn!

Sexy......I like look of these more than t5 shoulders! :O

Comment by LoKHor

Not only do the stats work out nicely, but my DK is going to look very nice in these on his way towards doing heroics. ;)

If a Ret Paladin is set on hit rating, these shoulders are the best DPS for them outside of nax. Truly a great set of shoulders from a rep that you NEED to have anyway.

Unless you are a scribe, of course.

Either way, getting to honored isn't difficult with the dailies available and the awesome quest chain to get to friendly with the Sons of Hodir is a must do.

And as you can see from the screenshots, they use the same model as most other shoulder pads in Northrend. Yay! Go get and look like any other plate wearer in the game Hooray!

No, there's 22 items that share this model- look under "same model as" and you'll see 22. It wouldn't filter out green items that have it as well, and this can be verified by looking at many other items.

This is one of the 2 or 3 different models that Bliz has for "blue" quality items pre-raid. The greens have their own model sets, though there's only a few of those as well.

No there's only 22 items that share this model, look under "items that share this model". That doesn't filter out greens "just because". This can be verified by looking at any number of other items whose models are indeed shared between green, blue, and even epic items.

This particular model along with one or two others is reserved for plate blues in WotLK pre-raid. The greens have their own models (albeit there aren't many of those either). I would invite you to point out the greens that share it, and I'll gracefully and gratefully stand corrected.

It shows you items you can get fairly easily before raiding to boost your DPS.

"Below is a sample listing of the Gear which a Death Knight would want to get to begin their Journey into Naxxramas 10. I've included several items which can be attained through Normal Dungeons, Heroic Dungeons and Crafting. I've also put in some quest rewards if no better drops are available from Normal Mode dungeons."

Just add Lesser Inscription of the Axe or Greater Inscription of the Axe and this makes for a very good dps piece

Comment by FireQ

these are actually the second best plate dps shoulders for tg warriors, pre- raid

Comment by nleonard

If you are a warrior or Deathknight and are specced for armored to the teeth or bladed armor respectively, these are the best pre-raiding shoulders you can find. If you're not, i would go with Trollwoven Spaulders. Edited 'cause i'm a noob and don't know how to link

Comment by illidoth

got any more shoulder equipment models, Blizzard?

Comment by sourceofevil

Excellent set of shoulders...better than anything available from heroics, and not that far behind T7 (especially considering how bad ArP has been gimped)

Comment by Kuartz

Anyone know why this item doesn't show up when you search for plate shoulders? Or is that just me?

Comment by Chickamauga

These are just a tiny bit better than the BoA plate shoulders. Not an enormous upgrade, but if you're considering not grinding Sons rep on your alt because of 3.3's change to shoulder enchants, you might want to at least get to revered for this upgrade once you hit 80.
